Care at Home

Did you know? 80% of our care is in the community

Caring for you at home

Many of our patients express the desire to be at home. We can support you in your home, depending on your wishes and medical needs. If you live in a nursing home, we can provide support there. The care you receive at home will be carefully planned to meet you and your family's individual needs. You might receive:

  • Telephone advice from our Advice Line Nurses
  • Contact from a Community Nurse Specialist to provide advice and support to help manage physical, psychological, emotional, spiritual and social issues associated with illness, which may involve medication suggestions
  • A review by one of our Doctors for symptom management
  • Contact from a Social Worker, Physio or Occupational Therapist to look at how you can be best supported in your environment
  • Contact from one of the Psychological Therapies Team
  • Contact from one of our hospice neighbour volunteers who can
    provide practical and social support
  • Care provided by our Hospice at Home Team

We've got a new look

You may notice that our website has a new look. Research carried out last year revealed there were many barriers to people accessing our support, so our refreshed branding aims to help break down misconceptions about who we are and what we do. 

This is part of a bigger piece of work for us - we're aiming to double the number of people we support by 2030.
